<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have created a MythTV system with a PVR-350 too.
But I did not have a monitor on the final system only a TV and I wanted to be
able of showing MPEG4 encoded recordings too. I tried making X work on the
output of the PVR-350, but had to give up. I use the output of the FX5200 now
and that works without problems. The 1.5 GHz Sempron handles the decompession
without problems.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am building a Myth box. I
have:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3Ghz Intel Prescott CPU</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Intel D865PERL Motherboard (Integrated optical
SPDIF, Hyperthreading)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hauppauge PVR-350</FONT></DIV>2 200Gig SATA hard
drives</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>512 M RAM</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>FX5200 GeForce Card</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2 HD3000 cards (not installed yet).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Fedore Core 3, 2.6.10</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question is in regard to the hardware encoding
/ decoding capabilities of the PVR-350. Am I required to use the TV Out
of the PVR-350 to enjoy the MPEG decoding capabilities of the card? Can
the card encode and decode at the same time (live TV)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had problems with Myth getting video to
initialize, and finally was able to get live TV to display. It was very
choppy, stuttery, and ultimately just locked up. I am not using the TV
out of the card, and am presently just using the PC monitor. I have a
long ways to go on this, but I need to start with a better understanding of
how the PVR350 works with the system.</FONT></DIV>
